How many turntables have you owned?


My analog journey started in the 70's- I'm on my 6th turntable, which I have owned since 1998. I think it's my final turntable!

Manticore Mantra with Rega RB300 with Goldring Eroica L - sold on minus arm.

Townshend Rock mk2 with the same Rega arm but I trashed the cartridge during the install so used it with a succession of Dynavector 17D2s and 3s, now it’s my mono deck with a mono version of te Decca Maroon and a Naim Aro with 8g added to the headshell.
